Experimental
Placebo Comparator
Morpho-specific foot orthoses
Placebo foot orthoses
Morpho-specific thermo-molded foot orthoses are designed according to the patient's morphotype. Orthoses are custom-molded from different materials such as BIOFLUX resin, Covercuir MF, EVA300/60, EVA400/70, PE255/55, ABSORB Dur and CAPITON PU.
The placebo foot orthoses will be made with the same principle of molding and with the same materials as for the experimental group. The only difference is that they involve no active corrective insert element : they will be made without morphotype correction.
